The Mushroom & Chive Bao (three steamed buns filled with king oyster mushrooms and garlic chives) were bland. The Shanghai Noodles (with tofu and no oyster sauce) were also bland and oily.

Everything was a bit bland. Bao was tasty and the sautéed greens seemed like one of the more boring options on the menu ended up being probably the best, but long beans, noodles, eggplant tofu were all fine but nothing special

A little pricey for what you get but worth it for a special treat! Their green beans and five spice chicken were a hit for us! If you get their soup dumplings, sit down to eat them since they travel terribly. :)

Meaty, soup XLBs. Shrimp wontons were good, the longbeans come in a big portion. Our old fashions were a bit sweet, but definitely enjoyed eating here!

I wish they would've mentioned in their menu that the noodles came with 2 shrimps. I was disappointed after having to wait a long time for my food.

Food took quite a long time and it was not what I expected. Overall flavor was there, but just not the best quality.

Food wasn't anything special and flavors were more bland than I was expecting. Staff were amazing and super nice. We came in with a large group and they were very helpful and accomodating.
